now that you mention this ...
source to an out-of-kernel emulator is in the linuxbios tree in
/LinuxBIOSv2/util/vgabios/

btw: most of this is from X11. I just broke it out, fixed some bugs,
Ollie fixed some more, and made it all work standalone.

It could be ported to plan 9 without too much trouble.

I think the standalone prog is the way to go, too.
